Subject: Thank You!

Yesterday was a remarkable day for Ron Paul, and it wouldn’t have happened without you. For those of you who haven’t yet heard, Ron Paul took over 10% in yesterday’s Iowa caucus, handily beating Rudy Giuliani and finishing right behind both Fred Thompson and John McCain. This despite that Rudy Giuliani made more visits to Iowa than Ron Paul. And, entrance polls showed that Ron Paul took first place (29%) among independent Republicans!

This campaign is just beginning, and we are starting off better than anyone in the “mainstream” media imagined.

Back in February 2007, no one gave Ron Paul any chance to succeed in this race. Ron Paul did not have the name recognition of other candidates, nor the financial resources. Essentially, Ron Paul started at a level of 0% in all 50 states.

But then, as we know, something started to happen. Americans started to hear this message of freedom, and began to galvanize behind the cause. It’s no small feat that we brought in 10% yesterday in Iowa, a double-digit turnout that has brought a lot of commentary – even from Fox News!

Just last night, Greta van Sustern had this to say:

Ten per cent is not insignificant - that's a huge number. Here you have a candidate that 10 per cent of the people caucused in his party really want him and it's not like he's an insignificant player. He didn't just drop in yesterday to the process, he has been running for president for a long time, and certainly many of the issues he's raised are rather provocative and certainly stimulate the debate; that's not a bad thing.

This election is just getting started. It’s time to mobilize and do what needs to be done. It’s time to win the most important election of our lifetime.

We can only compete in the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses with your continued support. Help us keep this momentum going with your most generous donation today: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate.

I'm not donating another dime to the campaign until I see a TV ad in SC.

I am not donating another dime until I see some competent campaign help hired. And an honest explanation to Grassroots about the database blunder.

I was there on the ground... the database blunder was not crippling. Everyone on the supporter lists got called to come out and vote

I really hate all these "I know better then the campaign" douchebags. If you are so good at campaigning then get a damn job in the industry and prove it. Other wise shut the hell up all ready. If you want to be negative and destructive, shut the hell up. If you dont want to give another penny, then dont, the rest of us will not jump off the bandwagon at the first sign of something not going how we wanted.

Has Lew Moore always been the campaign manager?

Wasn't it Kent Snyder or Jesse Benton?

Yes, Kent Snyder is the Chairman, and Benton is the Press Spokesman

take it into your own hands...what do you think other campaigns do.... go to http://voters.ronpaul2008.com and register. All of the old time voters and people involved in the democratic and republican committee's in local cities and towns always volunteer their services to the frontrunners and who the higher up GOP or DNC suggests. This is why "frontrunners" have all the resources, they have a bigger infrastructure. Ron Paul has 0 besides us. And we have to start building his infrastructure through precinct captains. This is the only way, and I am sure they will issue a release soon telling us this. Please sign up. I am sure the campaign is trying their hardest (may not be the best campaign staff ever), so give them the benefit, they all used to be grassroots just like everyone on here.
